I have a layer with hundreds of fields, and I wish to switch off roughly half of them. In ArcMap this would be easy using the arrow keys and space bar, but in ArcGIS Pro the only option seems to be switching all fields off or on using the Visible checkbox at the top of the table. Please restore the ability to scroll through the Fields list quickly using the arrow keys, and toggle each field's visibility on/off using the space bar.

In some old Unix systems there was a concept of "focus follows mouse", whereby the window underneath the mouse automatically had the focus. This concept would be a useful option within ArcGIS Pro. The use case is working with multiple windows, eg a Map and Scene side-by-side. When the mouse is over the Scene, panning should apply immediately even in the Map previously had the focus. (Currently you must click once in the Scene to give it focus before panning, zooming, identifying etc can occur). I envisage this as an option, not the default behaviour.

In the current version (v4.10) it is possible to display a "loading" indicator by using watchUtils and looking at the view's updating property: // Display the loading indicator when the view is updating watchUtils.whenTrue(view, "updating", function(evt) { $("#loading").show(); }); // Hide the loading indicator when the view stops updating watchUtils.whenFalse(view, "updating", function(evt) { $("#loading").hide(); }); See a working demo at Show a loading indicator using ArcGIS JS API v4

Hi Robert, Thanks for the response. However, I can't get it to work - WAB always starts in HTTPS mode. I deleted signininfo.json and restarted WAB. I specified the HTTP portal URL, but when opening up the oAUTH page to allow authorisation, HTTPS was used. After this, signininfo.json contains: "portalUrl": " https://XXX.maps.arcgis.com ", and when I reopen "localhost:3344" it still redirects to https://localhost:3344/webappbuilder/ The end result is that there is no change - WAB still uses the HTTPS version of the URL. Is there another place where I can specify whether to use HTTPS or not? Thanks, Steve

I have an out-of-the-box instance of ArcGIS Web AppBuilder developer edition - the startup.bat file is unmodified and includes the lines: REM open the url in browser START http : / / % FQDN % : % port % / % wabVirtualPath % EXIT 0 ‍ ‍ ‍ However, when I start a new session on my PC, it runs as https://localhost:3344/webappbuilder - even if I forcibly change the URL to http:// it immediately reverts to https:// This is causing a problem when I try to access ArcGIS Server REST endpoints which are not served via https. For example, when trying to add a sample layer via the Local Layer Widget I get an error message about insecure content: I'm working in a corporate environment and don't have the option of serving my local layers via HTTPS, so I'd like to know whether it's possible to force Web AppBuilder to run on HTTP.

Say you have FeatureClass1, which is connected via a relationship class to Table1. It's not enough to just add FeatureClass1 to the map - you also need to use the Add Data tool and add Table1 to ArcMap. Then publish the map to ArcGIS Server, where both FeatureClass1 and Table1 will be served up. For example see the services at SanFrancisco/311Incidents (FeatureServer) and note that both Layer and Table are included. The sample at Query and edit related records | ArcGIS API for JavaScript 3.18 may also help.

Hi Robert, I'm not sure if I missed this, but are there installation instructions available for this widget? Using WAB 2.2, I downloaded the latest version of the widget and unzipped it to \client\stemapp\widgets\eSearch then added it to client\stemapp\config.json "widgets" : [ { "label" : "Enhanced Search" , "uri" : "widgets/eSearch/Widget" } , ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ Creating a new app allows me to activate the Advanced Search widget, but if I immediately hit the OK button I get an error: FeatureActionManager.js?wab_dv=2.2:174 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'en-us' of undefined(…) Any ideas? Thanks, Steve

Hi Robert, No, it's a vanilla WAB installation and a simple application with nothing fancy in it. The strange thing is that the identical code works on Windows, while failing on the Mac. It's not a big deal as I can run it on the Windows VM on the Mac, so I guess I'm just curious as to why it doesn't work there. Thanks, Steve

Should it be possible to run a Web AppBuilder application on a Mac? I'm using the Developer edition of WAB on Windows 7 to create a simple WAB application I Download the application from WAB and put it in the Windows machine's /inetpub/wwwroot/xyz folder the application works as expected when accessed via http://localhost/xyz on the Windows machine I zip up the application and copy it across to a Mac which is running Apache, and put it in the /Library/WebServer/Documents/xyz folder the application fails to run on the Mac, with multiple 404 errors: eg: http://localhost/http://localhost//jsapi/jsapi/dojo/resources/dojo.css Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) Why is the path referencing localhost twice (http://localhost/http://localhost//jsapi/)? Note that this doesn't occur on the Windows machine. Is a WAB application supported on a Mac? thanks

Is it possible to determine, from one widget, whether another widget is active? For example, in my new widget's startup function, can I tell whether the Scalebar widget is active? Inactive: Active:
